I wish, franny! I am in subzero (Fahrenheit) MN. brrrrrr thanks for all the lovely comments! I have some of this kind of Amazonite and it is gorgeous! I was messing around to see how I should use mine. The rose gold was a guess but I think I need some now because I have everything else I need to do this kind of combo.

So Beautiful! The amazonite and the silk ribbon remind me of the soft feel of sand under my feet and the silkiness of the foamy surf around my ankles. The shibuichi, copper, and sardonyx remind me that even though the sand and surf look and feel soft, they have the strength to change the face of the sea bed with every wave and tide. This pick really embodies some of the reasons why I love living on the coast. I get to see both the fragility and utter brute force of nature everyday.
